Andrew Tate's Empire of Abuse.

When asked in 2023 what "men want in women," the notorious influencer, professional kickboxer, and accused human trafficker Andrew Tate gave a predictable answer: "No one's going to respect the man who's with an ultrapromiscuous woman. No one is going to respect the man who's with a woman who is back-talking him or horrible to him in public. No one is going to respect the man who's with a woman who clearly isn't interested in him sexually." What a man wants is the respect of others, which a woman can only convey, vacantly and impersonally, the way an electrode carries a current. It is this inflamed, anxious kind of notion that has made tate an inescapable figure of the online right. In his videos and social media posts, Tate has fueled the contemporary anti-feminist backlash by repeating, again and again, its galloping litany of fixations: the defense of male honor and the fear of female sexual freedom and social censure. Andrew Tate knows his script and how to hit its most advantageous beats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
